...World of Warcraft.

Also games like Rift, Aion, & Star Wars: The Old Republic when they first released. That's the way most MMOs are.

I'm not just talking about a subscription model...I'm saying games that make you pay full price 60$ and then on top of that add a subscription model. Like Elder Scrolls Online.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was responding to.
